When to know if you have a gas supply problem?
Make sure you really have a gas supply problem and not an appliance problem – if you have more than one appliance and one or more are operating satisfactorily, the problem is most likely with the appliance.
What happens if you have low fuel pressure?
Today’s electronic cars have a fuel pressure sensor that intelligently calculates if anything is going wrong. If it is, the sensor triggers the check engine light prompting you to get your fuel system checked. Generally, with such a problem you will get a P0190 code accompanying your problem.
Why is my fuel pump not producing pressure?
The fuel pump is able to create pressure using electricity but if it is not getting the adequate voltage of electricity it will not be able to function properly. Consequently, the fuel will not be released at the perfect pressure and your car will lose efficiency.

How to diagnose low pressure in a diesel tank?
The best way to diagnose this is to look at the fuel supply in 3 areas. Low pressure supply from the tank to the H igh P ressure P ump (HPP) – some vehicles rely on the HPP to suck the fuel from the tank while others have an electric pump in the tank or fuel line to supply fuel to the to the HPP.
